A few days ago the crews of the freight
trains on the Reading road ascertained that
non-union men were handling freight on one
of the company's piers at Port Richmond,
whereupon they refused to take freight to this
pier unless the ''scabs''were discharged. The
general superintendent of the road was mott
fed and promptly discharged the men who
had refused to take the freight to the pier in
question This was the beginning of the
great strike now in progress which theatens
to paralyze the whole freight service of the
Reading railroad, stop all work in the an
thracite coal regions in Pennsylvania, turn
10000 men out of employment in the dead of
winter, and infiict great loss and suffering
upon thousands of people in no way respon-
sible for the quarrel.
Both sides appear to have acted very arbi-
trarily. The attempt of the train men to
compel the company to discharge certain
employees because they did not belong to
union was indefensible, but the refusal of
the company to give their employees hear
ing or to listen to any oyertgres to prevent
general strike was not the wisest or most
credtable course for the company to pursue.
OF course the great mass Of the men who
will go out in obedience TO the orders of the
Knights of Labor have very little interest in
the quarrel at the bottom of the strike.
Probably great many of them do not know
exactly why they are ordered to quit work.
They have pledged themselves to strike
when their leaders say SO, and strike they
must, II those leaders deem that necessary to
coerce the Reading Company into discharg-
ing these non-nnion men at work on the pier
at Port Richmond. 1t is hard to conceive ola
much worse kind Of slavery than these labor
ng men have voluntarily submitted them
selves TO. They may be perfectly satisfied
with the wages and constant labor on their
part may be necessary for the support of
families dependent upon them. Idleness
may bring to them In few weeks hunger
and cold. Yet, they must, when ordered ex-
pouse somebody else's quarrel, suffer them
selves in consequence and infict suffering on
their innocent families, because they have
identified themselves with an organization
which demands Of them these sacrifices.
There are abundant signs that the Knights
Of Labor are disintegrating. 1t is no Won
der. Any organization who laws are such
as to compel $4,000 men to strike to redress
an alleged grievance in which only a small
faction Of them have an interest cannot ex-
pect to long command the confidence and
support OF intelligent workingmen.

Mr.. r. t. Dow Of Atlanta, Georgia, writes
to the Anti-Saloon Republican Committee as
follows;
am organizing an association similar to yours
in some respects, but differing in others. Ours
will be known as the Anti-Bar- Room Society of
Atlanta. 1t will have no political complexion
embracing in its membership Republicans, Demo
Gratis and Democratic Mugmumps-a species of
politician developed during the visit Of President
Cleveland TO Georgia IN October, and nurtured
into vigorous antipathy by the great free trade
pronunciamento. The bar-rooms are again domi-
nant here under high license system, the license
being 81 800 now, against $500 two years ago.
Restrictions are TO be placed on the whiskey traf
c, which it is hoped win go far to lessen its evil
influence. The people are determined however,
never to rest until the bar-rooms are wiped out.
AS the Republicans of The North fight the saloon,
so do the Democrats OF Georgia. The Prohibit
ton movement is fast disintegrating and dissolv-
ingsthe Democratic party of the South. Demo
Gratis OF Georgia are disguised with the methods
Of the Democrats of New York and Pennsylvania,
saloon power by their Northern brethren. Per-
haps you think I'm not a Democrat myself? But
/ am a Mugwump, or as proclaimed myself dur
ing the last Presidential campaign, a Blaine Dem
ocrat. am now more of Blaine man than ever
and should the Republican party nominate him or
any other good man and insert an antlSaloon
plank in their platform, thousands of Georgia
Democrts will vote with the Republicans. We
are not such free traders down here as the. great
Democratic Jumbo thinks, and Cleveland VIII
realize ere long that the mistake OF his life was
made when he exhibited himself TO the Georgia
crackers" as the great attraction Of the Piedmont
Exposition.
When the politics Of the South, some day
in the future, are arranged along some other
lines than the color line, there will
doubtless be a great many men Of Mr.. BOWS
way of thinking. Georgia is fast becoming
manufacturing State, and strong senti-
ment in favor of protection will eventually
be developed there. But at present the color
line is too distinct TO justify the expecta-
ton that any considerable number of the
white voters will follow Mr.. Dow into the
Republican party

Winter seems to have arrived finally; but
is much later than usual, if the closing of the
great rivers of the State is the signal for the
beginning of its reign. The Kennebec clos
ed to navigation Thursday night, later than
usual, and the Penobscot froze at Bangor On
Friday. Last year the Penobscot closed
twelve days earlier, and not for ten years has
the iriver remained open any longer than it
has this year. But the winter of 1878 was
exceptionally late, there having been but
one winter for sixty years when the cold
held off SO long. That was the winter Of
1882, when navigation on the Penobscot
was not INTERRUPTED until Dec Goth.
